Chimney Cleaning Methods

Kitchen Greasy Duct Systems

Even the smallest amount of soot increases chimney dirt, preventing airflow and causing heating problems. When soot starts to be cleaned from the top of the chimney, it will fall inside as black dust and make a mess. However, this falling dirt is only the surface grime that is not adhered. The real problem is to remove the layer underneath. This layer, with its progressively increasing thickness, causes your chimneys to decay and deteriorate quickly. Therefore, it is best to use chimney cleaning systems as needed for the specific chimney. Due to the simultaneous operation of appliances connected to the chimney in the kitchen, such as aspirators, combi boilers, and extractor hoods, cleaning should be done in a multipurpose manner with every operation. Aspirators or extractor hoods should be directly connected to the chimney without being greased to ensure good suction.

Mechanical Tools Have Brushes at Their Ends

Grease build-up on their surfaces reduces chimney performance, causing grease to remain in your kitchen. For horizontal ducts in large kitchens, cleaning is done by removing the bottom plates of the exposed sections and performing a spray process. The sprayed degreasing chemicals will cause the grease to dissolve and flow away. However, mechanical tools can be used for vertical chimney cleaning systems. Brushes with large rotating heads are attached to steel-handled tools for the process. Machines with adjustable speed can fit inside the chimney and have continuous rotation capacity. Therefore, cleaning is done quickly during chimney cleaning without the hassle of going up to the roof or the common stairwell.
